I think Shelvey's serving a period of penance for off-field internet indiscretions, no more than that. Henderson is God-awful, even though he's been showing better form lately - Allen is even worse. The Shelvey deal was a rushed, desperate giveaway in the first place, AllHell - the chances of there being a sell-on clause I'd say were very remote, although we did get a reputed £250k when he made his England debut.
I don't watch much mid-table Premier League football, so I can't say I've seen much of Liverpool this or recent seasons. But an Aberdeen fan at work said a few weeks ago with absolutely no prompting that he thought Shelvey was "absolute rubbish". I think the big money (£750k) comes when he captains Liverpool to retaining the Premier League and Champions League double, but only if he's the world cup winning captain that season too.
